I would like them to prove that statement,how many of the firearms used were actually full auto or select fire,i bet very few to none and if they were they had been illegally converted,or stolen.In Miami, authorities say the proliferation of assault weapons led to an increase in killings, from 56 in 2005 to 79 in 2006 and 86 so far in 2007.
"You just pull a trigger and 20 or 30 rounds come in a second and in those 20 rounds you're sure to hit your intended target and some innocent bystanders, totally unlike a firearm that is just one bullet every time you pull the trigger," Miami Police spokesman Willie Moreno said.

Basically, it shows that Willie Moreno needs to go back to school.
The last train out of any station will not be filled with nice people.

Re: I hate half truths
You would need one HECK of a machinegun to fire 30 rounds in one second of fire...
That would mean a cyclic rate of 1800 rounds per minute.
The cyclic rate of the M249 machinegun is about 900 rounds per minute.
At 1800 rounds your barrel would be glowing red and drooping to the floor.

Re: I hate half truths
The story indicates Willie Moreno is a "police spokesman." There have been WAY too many instances of "police spokesmen" implying fully-automatic weapons figure prominently in crime, despite REPEATED corrections, with the implication that civilian-legal EBRs fit that mold.nuparadigm wrote:Basically, it shows that Willie Moreno needs to go back to school.
That it still happened here makes me conclude that Willie Moreno is not a moron but a liar unless he can prove that there were many fatal machine-gunnings (at least thirty) in Miami.

That's 34.8% of the 86 shootings in Miami (the city, not the county) this year. The police really should do something to protect the people of Miami.

Thanks, I like to keep track of which outlets in the MSM are posting truly outlandish statements, and these certainly qualify.Skiprr wrote:I think it's here: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breakin ... 59948.html.TX Rancher wrote:Source?

Since it's an AP piece, it's probably been posted all over the place.TX Rancher wrote:Thanks, I like to keep track of which outlets in the MSM are posting truly outlandish statements, and these certainly qualify.Skiprr wrote:I think it's here: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breakin ... 59948.html.TX Rancher wrote:Source?
